I had a great experience at McDonald's today. I used the app and got table service. The server was friendly and even conversational. I liked that she showed a genuine interest in me as a person and not just table 109. I ordered the Bacon Egg and Cheese McGriddle and a large Sugarfree Vanilla ice coffee. Both were very good. I liked that my Mcgriddle was prepared with care and not sloppily thrown together. I spread some butter and drizzled some maple syrup on it which made it especially good. It was great that it was an app deal for only $5.00 and of course Gavin had to get his share which was 38¢ in today's economy that ain't bad. I rounded out my meal by redeeming loyalty points for an order of hash browns. Overall a great experience. My experience could have been better had the AC not been working so good. Also I would like to have had an outlet to charge my phone as I enjoyed my delicious breakfast. Thanks for reading enjoy the pictures. read more

2nd time they didn't put my McGriddle in my bag when Uber Eats arrived it wasn't in there. Management get on your employees have them pay attention to orders instead of just trying to speed through. Accuracy is key . read more

Only doing mobile orders so they get it right... I asked for two hot and spicy with two ranches and they only gave me one hot spicy sandwich. The lady repeated back to me a hot spicy and two ranches and I said no two hot and spicy sand two ranches. She repeated two hot and spicier and two ranches. I said yes. They don't show the order on the screen so how was I supposed to know she only submitted one? My receipt only said one hot spicy and two ranches. I didn't have time or the patience to go in and get my second one because I'm on my way to an appointment but geez, am I so irritated. read more

Half my order was missing. Drove 30 minutes there to get the kids McDonalds for doing a good job in school for the month drove 30 minutes back home just to find out half my order is missing. On top of that I called the number on the receipt as well as the actual store location and just goes to a voicemail. Pretty frustrating, annoyed. 1 hour round trip, overcharged, no customer service. Don't recommend at all. read more

Holy skibidi, this mcdonalds was the most epic mcdonalds I've ever been to. We went in, ordered 100 nuggets and felt bad so we apologized to the staff and the lady was so nice told us not to and even apologized to us for the wait?? And then gave us some ice cream and drinks during the wait? It was so sweet. And then the nuggets we didn't order for ourselves but they smelled so good and yummy so we stole some and everyone agreed they are some of the best nuggets we ever had from mcdonalds. Not to mention that the outside is nice and the inside is clean very rustic feel this ain't no bunk McDonald's it's very nice. Shout-out to the lady manning the front desk at 7:30pm June 18th 2025. If all the mcdonalds people were like that it'd be mcdonalds world conquest. I could tell all the other workers loved her too. So epic experience thumbs up from the rydawg (me) read more

These reviews are all over the place, i have stopped here several times on my way back up the mountain and I've never had a bad experience and yes, some condiments have not been in the bag but it wasn't the end of the world, geez! At the end of the day they really do need to change their hours online to their true hours of operation, it seems they making a lot of big backs hangry! read more

Had to wait over 25 minutes just for a McGriddle. Somehow everyone who came after me got their order before me.

We have always gone to this McDonald's and we have not been disappointed. The food and great and they have the best fries. We just tried the new Kit Kat Banana Split McFlurry and it was really good! The hot fudge Sundays are really good too. They have lots of seats inside and a large menu. The service is good and the staff are usually nice to work with too. Prices are getting higher but I guess it's the same for any fast food place these days. read more

I redeemed points for a sausage/egg McMuffin. My order was cancelled, with no explanation why. Employees at restaurant had no explanation. They just looked at my phone verified that I was at the correct location, and that I had indeed placed the order. They said we don't know what the problem is, and proceeded to go back to work. I stood there for 5 minutes, no one ever offered an explanation, or attempted to solve the problem. They just acted like I wasn't even there, completely ignored me. After 5 minutes it became apparent that nobody cared, and they were not going to help me, so I left. It was very odd, they had no solution so they just ignored me. That's the type of customer service we get nowadays. Nobody actually does the job they are paid to do. As long as they show up, they get paid, regardless of job performance. Sad that this is the norm now. read more

Came through the line around 1245 it took them 15 minutes to get to the window they Service is slow. Their food is cold.

The service today was horrible. The lady at the window was arguing with me about the app reward that I was trying to use. Keep in mind I use this reward weekly so I order the same each time. I ordered a double quarter pounder with cheese no bun. She tells me I can't have that only a single patty. After continuing to argue with me I said I would like to order at the window so I can show you my phone. I proceeded to the window and she said you already paid. I said for what and she says your single patty quarter pounder. I said no I wanted a double and I had her read my phone. I told her to read it out loud and she did and she read that it says a double quarter pounder. Then says well my computer says no so no. How about you make the moment right and give me what your app says to give me. read more

I am an 80 years old and disabled. Today I REALLY needed a big Mac. My son went to the Alpine McDonalds to get me one. He left for go back to El Cajon and I couldn't wait to eat. I took two bites and guess what? The sandwich was falling apart and the cheese was green with mold. Needless to say I am no longer hungry. Not the first time I have had bad food here. Guess Trump never ate here.​ ​ read more

What an awesome worker! Sidel completely went above and beyond! It was just before closing time and after paying she asked if we wanted an extra pie. Of course we said yes! Then she hands us a bag and says "I may have been a little over zealous with the pies" and was kinda greeted by 4 or 4 pies. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Well, everyone says it. Every time they go to this mc Donald's, it's the worst food they've pretty much ever had. I agree. But this time, I have photos. An absolutely disgusting amount of mayo, old vegetables, the END of the tomato with the stem bit. Pretty standard, but I'm really tired of it, being served slop. read more

Fix your freaking hours. Showed up at 5:30am before a long drive out East to get some food and went unanswered in the drive thru. Online says 5am and so does your door. Lights were on inside and the drive thru. Super annoyed. Guess I'll be headed to El Centro to get breakfast. read more

I frequent this McDonald's in Alpine because it is close to my home and on my way to my destinations. Today I decided to try something different. Buttermilk chicken sandwich. My sandwich was not worth eating Unfortunately, I did not notice this until I got home. The bun was cold and burnt, my chicken was cold and the lettuce and tomatoes looked old. Who would serve something like this? It disgusts me pay $10 for a chicken sandwich, fries and a Coke! The ethics of young staff are much to be desired as well. read more

I went here with my Dutch girlfriend (she's ethnic Japanese) and they discriminated us. Got called slurs such as "g**k" and "ch*nk". Food was subpar even for McDonalds standards. Snarky staff. Do not reccomend read more

We come here at least 1 a month and I have to give 5 stars to the service manager Alyssa. It seems like this McDonalds is under-staffed, they have a huge volume of sales and not enough people to meet the demand. Alyssa handles everything with amazing customer service skills and is always pleasant. read more

Apathetic employees are just the start. Tonight my daughter ate there and a cockroach was crawling on the bench next to her. She told one of the employees and the disinterested employee just told her "Yeah, we've had a bug problem here." Needless to say, we won't be going back. read more

Horrible McDonald's, corporate should close it down, you have officially made the first crap mcmuffin then I open the next one again perfected the crap mcmuffin it went perfectly with the 10 min wait in the parking lot for my soggy Luke warm fries. Maybe next time you can just serve people crap they may like it more. Just go to the dumpster area the food will probably taste the same or better. Great job alpine McDonald's the first crap mcmuffins. read more

What time do you close? Last night 2 dumb girls sitting in lobby with all the lights on in drive thru. I watched several customers pull up a little after 10:00 pm . No one came to answer drive thru that has a posted12:00 close time. If you close earlier fix your sign and if your going to sit there like clowns turn off the drive through lights. And dont expect soft serve here, they are either out of ice cream or the machine is broke down. read more

I was in the area walking a trail and decided to stop by for a small coffee and some oatmeal. I was very hungry, so I added a sausage McMuffin. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mcdonalds-alpine-2?select=Cez1e77NoLiKQSSdDOuoRA#YNlWwXnymJJFLEnY-yJwSA) For some reason, the tray had water splattered around it, so I had to take my food off it. I was not happy about that. The oatmeal was a little watery, so I place the sliced apples in, stirred it up, and put the lid back to let it sit and ate my McMuffin first. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mcdonalds-alpine-2?select=Cez1e77NoLiKQSSdDOuoRA#p2OJsOLsa0zwX66FN8ds7A) The McMuffin was good. It was nice and warm and freshly made. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mcdonalds-alpine-2?select=Cez1e77NoLiKQSSdDOuoRA#MsNF1AoJfDLAOlzu7kXaEA) When I got back to the the oatmeal, it had settled better. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mcdonalds-alpine-2?select=Cez1e77NoLiKQSSdDOuoRA#ScHIp5mq_mh8QmxaFOg_Hw) The oatmeal was cooked through and the oatmeal had good flavor. I liked that it was not overly sweet. The service here was unenthusiastic to say the least. Lacking in personalities and senses of humor, made for a humdrum experience at the counter. In fact, I was glad to get away from the counter and to my seat. If it were not for my experience with the service, it would of been and A-okay, but to be honest, I have had better service at other locations. read more

This is probably the nicest and cleanest McDonald's I ever been too! All of the food is made fresh when ordered and they have added several healthy options to their menu. I also like that they offer breakfast items all day now and some lunch items before 11am. The staff is always very friendly and they bring your food to the table. Only thing I don't really like is their electronic menu. It flips through items to quickly and doesn't give enough time to read each section so you have to stand there and wait for it to cycle back through everything. The menus look cool but they should have a printed menu posted somewhere in case of a glitch in the system or for people like me who are slow readers ?!?! read more

Sadly, I live in Alpine. And until my house sells and I can move back to the city, this and Carl's Jr. are the only games in town, last time I was at Carls Jr. the drive through people were half dead and someone was running around in the restaurant screaming. Sssooooo I take myself out every week with something from McDonald's. The service is getting worse and worse and the prices are going up and up. I don't blame the workers, you can tell they're working their tails off, frantically. I wholeheartedly believe that in this post-pandemic corporate world, there is no employee shortage, businesses have just gotten used to their profits being high with less employees and just want to work their employees to death. I was at McDonald's on Tuesday night, August 23, 2022, and I am not exaggerating, waited in the drive up for a half an hour. The line stretched out to the supermarket. I turned my engine off. Now this could've been some numb nuts asking where they get the oil for the fries or if the meat is free-range, of course, there's always one. But the employees were frantic. The cash window was closed so the guy at the pick up window was doing cash and making food and handing out food. I saw only two other employees there. Was going to pay with cash but I thought I might as well give the poor guy a break. My biggest complaint tho, and I blame management for this as well. I get a large fry it's NOT ALL THE WAY FULL. It really burns my butt. I know that the word has come from ON HIGH to measure or count or something the fries. Fckg ridiculous. The unmitigated greed. Thank you McDonalds workers who work at this Alpine location, I appreciate that you're doing the best you can with what little you have. Especially the people who work the cash window who give my dog a milk bone. It's the highlight of her week. I cannot wait to move out of this place and one of many reasons is I'll have more than two choices, bad and worse. p.s. I know there's Fred's but I don't want a ginormous burger, just a smallish one. read more

We have only had good experiences here, but we also sit inside and only do breakfast late, so it doesn't seem that busy. Food has always been good and come out on time, and the staff have always been friendly and helpful. One annoying thing is you can order to have it delivered to your table, but they have no table numbers. Just look at most McDonalds reviews, and they are rarely above 3 stars, and some deserve it. This one hasn't been a problem for us yet, and we come all the way from Julian. read more

Every time I come here it's the longest wait ever! So I placed an order thru app. I sat in the car for 15 mins and went inside to get my food. I can see it on the counter. Coffee is cold. I saw the work come outside and gave the drive thru people who had parked on the side to wait for their food also. The worker was vaping by the trash can! Don't come here terrible service read more

I ordered a double quarter pounder with ketchup and cheese only and a large fry. When I got my order my large fry was half empty and my double quarter pounder had ketchup, cheese, pickles and onions.

Seriously disgusted by this McDonalds once again. I've never left a poor review with the continuous mistakes and forgotten food in the past. I usually call in but serving me raw beef is the final straw. Do not go to this Mc Donald's. They ruined every part of our order... I ordered a coke no ice and there is ice, they asked us to pull over to the 1spot and wait why they cooked the double quarter pounders. Then brought us cold fries and our meal... got home and bit into my burger..... BARF a moth full of raw meat!!! So what was I pulled over waiting for?? Raw meat to not cook or fries to get cold? (Picture is of the burger ripped in half to show the meat!" read more

No menu in drive thru. Staff are clueless. Wanted us to download an app to order. Wtf. Never coming here again.

Every single time I go to this McDonald's it is literally the best food I have ever had from any McDonald's ever. The manager that manages this place knows what she's doing! You will not be disappointed by going to this McDonald's! The best McDoubles I've ever had. This is the only McDonald's that I go to any more I will not go to any other McDonald's in all of San Diego or Imperial County.
